Press Review - February 17, 2018

The implementation of major international projects and the situation with agriculture are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the implementation of large-scale international projects by Azerbaijan.

In particular, the author tells about the Coordination Meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor that took place on February 15. The article also says that foreign investors will pay a $ 3.6 billion bonus to the Azerbaijani side for the development of a large Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field. As for the project South Gas Corridor, this year Azerbaijan will allocate about 1.3 billion dollars for this project.

The website Azadliqinfo.az writes about the way of governing the country, claiming that with the help of fraud the country can not be governed. According to the author, the current government is too far from the national idea, as it cannot ensure the rights and freedoms of its citizens.

As noted in the article, governance in the country is inefficient, inactive and unprofessional, because in all areas there is a failure. For 25 years, the authorities have "neutralized" the population, depriving it of all social justice.

The newspaper Yeni Musavat touches upon the topic of farmers and taxes. A point of view on the situation in agriculture is expressed by the MP Ali Massimov. He argues that suitable lands are used insufficiently in agriculture.

Employment in agriculture is low. It is necessary to abolish monopoly and liberate the seized lands from the state fund. Farmers should pay a rent in the amount of 150 manat for the used lands.--0--
